Research Gap Analysis

Based on: Weizhena/Deep-Research-skills Original License: MIT

Overview

This skill analyzes existing literature to identify research gaps and opportunities.

Workflow

Phase 1: Literature Synthesis

Group papers by approach/theme
Identify consensus vs disagreements
Map the research landscape

Phase 2: Gap Identification

Look for:

Methodological gaps: What methods haven't been tried?
Theoretical gaps: What theories need extension?
Empirical gaps: What experiments haven't been done?
Application gaps: What domains haven't been explored?

Phase 3: Opportunity Assessment

For each gap:

How important is this gap?
How feasible is it to address?
What resources would be needed?
What's the potential impact?

Phase 4: Output

Present findings as:

## Research Gaps

### Gap 1: [Title]
- **Description**: [What's missing]
- **Importance**: [Why it matters]
- **Feasibility**: [How doable it is]
- **Suggested Approach**: [How to address it]

### Gap 2: [Title]
...

## Research Opportunities

### Opportunity 1: [Title]
- **Gap Addressed**: [Which gap]
- **Potential Contribution**: [What you could add]
- **Next Steps**: [How to start]

Key Rules

Be specific about gaps (not just "more research is needed")
Prioritize gaps by importance and feasibility
Connect gaps to concrete research opportunities
Consider both incremental and radical contributions
